Tensions Swell Over the Price of Parking in Wrightsville Beach.

The popular, easy-to-reach beach says charging for parking pays for services that benefit beach-goers. Surfers and other locals say it’s intensifying the region’s class divide.

Are prices actually high or just too high for these EBT niggers/spics?

Parking at an oyster bar for two hours, 20 dollars.

No blacks in sight... Priceless.

You can get a day pass for 35 bucks but some lots don't accept it.

I would happily pay $20/$35 to make sure I am in a area where most blacks cant or wont be. That is a small price to pay for lower crime, less smell and maybe an actual enjoyable time out walking around without having to worry about a random chimp-out.

20 bucks...WTF!

Who owns these parking lots?

I think we know (((who))) already.

The city mostly. But that was a private lot.

If I wanted to vacation around blacks I'd go on a Carnival Cruise.

Raise prices to keep niggers out. Regular White people can’t afford it. We still get fucked over.

The town administration and Board of Aldermen say money from parking helps support the town’s robust ocean lifeguard team, the police and fire departments, restroom maintenance, and litter collection. …

Jenna Haverstock, the president of local environmental nonprofit Plastic Ocean Project, told town officials that she has had difficulty finding volunteers for beach cleanups due to the fees.

If some of the money pays for “litter collection”, why do local volunteers feel the need to do beach cleanups?

Time for an audit.

This year, the town expects nearly $5.8 million in gross revenue from parking fees, though in past years revenue has exceeded its projections.

…

Paid parking revenue also supports the town’s general fund, which the latest financial report says has “the necessary resources to recover from emergencies such as hurricanes, floods, or the recent pandemic.” Last year, the town also budgeted $1 million for beach renourishment, which adds sand to the coastline to fight erosion. (The most recent renourishment project, completed in March 2024, was federally funded, so some visitors note that their tax dollars already help protect the beach.)

More evidence of embezzlement.

State law bars most cities from using parking revenue for anything other than parking and traffic enforcement, but Wrightsville Beach received a statutory exemption in 1998. That has helped Wrightsville Beach keep property taxes at the lowest rate in the county.

That’s big, but there are still signs of corruption. You put that much money in the hands of a small town council and someone will find a way to funnel it back to themselves. Look for companies the town is paying that are owned by town council or admin members.

Someone is milking that cash cow and it’s not the residents.

Aside from that, parking fees are their way of charging an admission fee to use their beach. Without those they would have a hard time covering the costs of keeping the beach safe and clean, and both the beach and the town would be swamped with visitors. I’m not even sure they are going overboard with the rising fees. If the local roads are still congested from beach traffic then the fees are about where they need to be. The hard truth is that everyone and their dog wants to go to the beach, but it’s not big enough for all of them.

You bring up great points. I still think the heart of the matter is if I rent a 3 million dollar ocean front house for the week (which isn't cheap to do), I don't want to walk out to the beach and see a bunch of niggers because they have easy/cheap access to the same beach. I'm sorry if this means local Whites get priced out too, but maybe they should get good at having money.

You are going to have to make sure that Uber, Lyft and all public transit cannot go to the area too. Otherwise they will just use that. (Especially the public transit).

Maybe have "No nigger days" on public transit (It should be any time not during normal working hours, most of those fucks don't work).

I'd prefer segregation 24/7.

Well, no one ever said there was something like "Black Flight" or "Mexican/Hispanic Flight". (They call that gentrification, i.e. being priced out, usually by Whites and Asians rehabbing the shithole they created).

At the same time, White's don't tend to move out of a neighborhood because a Asian family moves in.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Only if it is an "Asian" (paki) family.
